02Commitment to Environmental Activities
Green Procurement
We recognize the preservation of the global environment as a critical issue and are committed to green procurement. We avoid using products that may have adverse effects on the environment or human health and prioritize doing business with companies that are actively engaged in environmental conservation activities. To continually reduce environmental impact, we will continue our efforts in developing and providing environmentally friendly products.
5Rs Activities
We are actively working on waste segregation and promoting the recycling of materials such as plastics and paper. Currently, the recycling rate of waste plastics has reached 100%. Additionally, in response to production fluctuations, we return surplus raw materials, consumables, and equipment to suppliers for recycling and reuse, thereby maximizing the efficient use of resources. Our approach follows the 5Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover, and Refuse, which guide our continuous efforts to minimize environmental impact and optimize resource utilization.
Energy Conservation Activities
Semiconductor products are precise electronic devices that are sensitive to temperature fluctuations, dryness, humidity, and dust. To maintain a clean environment with optimal temperature and humidity throughout the factory, we use energy-intensive air conditioning and air cleaning systems. Therefore, we are promoting energy-saving initiatives, such as the "return (circulation) of air conditioning systems," to reduce energy consumption and enhance energy efficiency.
Community Activities
As a member of the local community, we actively participate in environmental beautification activities and work towards contributing to the region.
We take part in environmental beautification initiatives within our company’s location, engaging in tree planting and cleaning activities alongside local residents. Additionally, as part of our company efforts, we regularly recruit volunteers from our employees to carry out environmental beautification activities around our company.
Moving forward, we will continue to foster a strong environmental awareness across the entire company.
